Police believe there are some witnesses who have not come forward following the death of a 45-year-old man who was killed in a crash with a lorry. Met Police were called to reports of a car crashed into a stationary trailer in a layby on the A13 near Wennington on Sunday, June 1 at 8.30pm.
Officers attended the scene alongside the London Ambulance Service and found wreckage on the eastbound side of the road. The man, who was the driver of the car, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been told and are being supported by specialist officers.
Detective Sergeant Jon Bounds who is leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the man who sadly died following this incident. We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of A13 heading eastbound, approaching the Wennington Interchange, between 8.25pm and 8.30pm on Sunday, June 1.
“Did you witness the collision or see something that might be helpful to us? If you were driving past, please check any dashcam footage you have to see if you may have captured what happened.
“We believe there may be witnesses who have yet to come forward. No matter how small, anyone with any information is urged to contact us immediately.”
